Because she was...
Light!
She needed no adornment, no praise from others, no display of magical power. Wherever she went, she was light itself, the heart of all light. Everything else paled beside her, and all radiance converged upon her.
She strolled into the square as though no one else were there. Her willow brows knitted slightly, a flicker of surprise passing across her face before she smiled gently, walked quietly to the center of the square, and stopped!
Wherever she passed, everyone voluntarily cleared a path. Their eyes burned with admiration, infatuation, wariness, or scrutiny, yet no one called out a greeting or uttered another word, as though afraid of disturbing a nature elf born of heaven and earth.
Suddenly, more than a dozen beams of holy white light streaked through the air and landed around Guangming Jingfu. All wore holy white robes, their faces flawless beyond reproach. Leading them was a man as gentle as the bright sun, breathtakingly handsome without sacrificing his masculinity.
"A God Emperor Realm cultivator?! He must be Luo Lun, the eighth-ranked direct disciple of the Light Immortal Venerable, known as God Emperor Luo Tian. They say he has already comprehended the supreme light art, the Grand Prophecy Technique!"
The instant that man appeared, countless people present wondered in shock and disbelief.
Nominally, the Sky-Supporting High Priest had invited only the young talents of the various factions. Thus, none of their elders had accompanied them. There had been no Emperor Grade figures present; everyone was young in some sense, and even King Grade cultivators could be counted on one hand. Most were in the Daluo Realm, with their cultivation ranging from Heaven Immortal to Immortal King. The sudden appearance of a God Emperor Realm cultivator proved that he was supreme among geniuses-a Supreme Genius.
